The writer's of the above letter
give these facts to the public simply
to Justify the claims that they have
made, that "if the kidneys and liver
are kept in healthy condition by
the use of Warmers safe cure, which
hundreds Of thousands have proved
to be specific, when all other RENE
dies failed, and that has received the
endorsement Of the highest medical
talent in Europe, Australasia and
America, many life would be pro.
longed and the happiness of the PEG
pie preserved. 1t is successful with
SO many difereaf diseases because it
and it alone, can remove the uric acid
from the blood through the kidneys.
Our readers are familiar with the
preparation named.
Commentator thereof has often
appeared in our columns.
We believe it to be one Of the best,
if not the best ever manufactured,
We know the proprietors are men OF
character and influence.
We are certain they have awakened
widespread interest in the public
mind concerning the importance OF
the kidneys. We believe with them
that they are the key to health, and
that for their restoration from dis
ease and maintenance in health, there
is nothing equal to this great remedy.
The proprietors say they "do not
glory in this universal prevalence OF
disease, but having started out with
the purpose Of spreading the merits
Of Warmers safe cure before the
world, because it cured eur senio,
fygp1efor, aho aoas gfOc1 up BY the

duty to state the facts and leave the
public to its own differences. We
point to our claims, and to their pub
lie and universal verification with
pride, and if the public does not be-
lleve what we say, we tell them to
ask their friends and neighbors what
they think about our preparations"
AS stated above, we most cordially
commend the perusal of this cores
pendence by our readers, believing
that in so doing, we are fulfilling a
simple public obligation.

years ago we stated that marked

The statistics of one Of the larges
life insurance companies Of this coun
try shows that in 1883 and 1884, the
mortality from kidney disorders die
not increase over the previous year
other companies stated the same thing
II is not presumptous for us to claim
credit for checking these ravages.
Seven years ago, we stated that the
condition of health: within the past
FIVE years all careful life insurance
companies have conceded the truth OF
this statement, for, whereas. ten years
ago, chemical analysis to determine
the condition of the kidneys was not
required to day millions of dollars
in risks are refused, because chemical
examination discovers unsupported
diseases Of the kidneys.
"Seven years ago We stated that
he ravages of Bright's Disease were
Insignificant compared with other
unsupported disorders of the kidneys
of many misleading names; that 90
percent of human ailments were at
tributable to deranged kidneys, (which
fills the blood with uric acid or kid
ney poison, which causes these many
fatal diseases.
"The uric acid, or kidney poison,
is the real cause OF the majority of
cases of paralysis, apoplexy, heart
disease, commissions, pneumonia, con-
sumption and insanity; over half the
victims of consumption are first the
victims of diseased kidneys.
When the recent death of an hon
ored ex official of the United States
was announced, his physician said
that although he was suffering from
Bright's Disease, that was not the
cause of death. He was not frank
enough to admit that the appoplexy
which overlook him in MS bed, was
the fatal effect of the kidney poison
in the blood, which had eaten away
the substance of the arteries and
brain; nor was Logan's physician
honest enough to state that his fatal
rheumatism was caused by kidney
acid in the blood.
II the doctors would state in official
reports the original cause OF death,
the people of this country would be
alarmed, yea, nearly panic stricken,
at the fearful mortality from kidney
disorders"

AFTERNOON TALKS.


of the Present or Past.
The telephone is great convenience
but it is far from being perfect. The inn
provements that are being made from
time to time may eventually result in
something much nearer perfection than is
possessed by the instrument now in use.
But before the telephone reaches the
desired state Of perfection we may have
something even more serviceabIe. A few
weeks ago when Mr.. Bartlette, President
Of the Spencer Arms Company, was here,
described to me an instrument which
Prof. Elisha Gray, of telephone fame, is
working upon, and if he succeeds in per-
fecting may be Of such convenience as to
supercede the telephone. Prof. Gray's
invention is known as the "telautograph.
Electricity is, Of course, the basis of this
invention, and as understand it an exact
fac-simile Of the writer's or sender's copy
| is renrndnosa sts-rsa~~s <,sasanls of
miles away. IF Norristown woman goes
to the seashore and runs short of money,
she can telegraph her husband: aSend me
check for hundred" or whatever
amount she may need Her husband can,
if the "telautograph' happens to be in
troduced in Norristown, sit down and
write out check, and when he has sign
ed his name here his wife will have his
photographic check at the seashore. This
is an easy and quick way of getting
money--if it's to be had for the asking
and perfectly safe way.
In this invention the chief feature is
the plate or instrument on which the writ
ing is done. No particular kind of pen
or pencil has to be used; in fact, sharp
pointed instrument of any kind, or even
a piece of wood, win answer the pur-
pose. The paper on which the writing is
done and the autograph reproduced does
not have to be prepared, for in the first
instance the pressure on the plate
gives the impulse to the machine, while
the reproduction is brought about by a
tracing point, which may be properly
linked pen or even an ordinary lead pencil
attached TO movable arm in the receiv-
ing machine at the other end of the line.
A number of experiments with the ma
chine have been made at Highland Park,
where Prof. Gray's laboratory is, all Of
them Of the most satisfactory character.
The circuit was not ia very long one, but
tho tests were Of that kind which indica-
ted that the length of the circuit did not
matter much, and that the work could be
done over one thousand miles of wire as
perfectly as over ono hundred. Prof.
Gray has not yet applied for patents on
the invention, but il is fully covered by
caveats, SO that he has removed the in
junction of secrecy, and feels free to talk
upon the subject with bis friends. lie is

WOLF DOGS IN MONTANA.

The various range associations here re-
Gently imported from Colorado lot of
stag hounds which were recommended as
excellent wolf extorminators, and they
are more moro than pleased with their in
vestment. The dogs get away with moro
wolves than tho same number of men
armed with Winchesters could. Wolves
have been very numerous in all this Sec
ton for some time, and have lessened tho
profits Of stock men materially by killing
sheep and calves. When the hounds ar
rived they were kept in confinement for
awhile and then they were turned loose.
Six of them went with one party of men
out on the range, aud in less than two
hours they had twelve wolves at bay.
The fight that eventually occurred is de-
scribed by eyewitnesses as most interest
ing.
The dogs appear to work on an under
standing, and their movements indicate
as much intelligence as human beings
would exhibit. Hunting in couples, they
invariably bring down their game. One
OF them will seize wolf by the neck and
throw him twenty feet in the air before
he knows what ails him, and when he
comes down the other grabs him and pulls
him limb from limb. In the big fight
spoken of this plan was followed by the
dogs, who went at it like veterans, and
they had finished nine of the wolves when
the others turned tail and got away.
Every day now when the ranchers want a
little fun they take the dogs out, and 1t is
not long before wolf is scared up. The
hounds arc fed on corn bread and butter.

being sent to Pennsylvania and manu- fac

us in iron production. Wo recognize this
